I have a couple of Madonna's later albums, the one with Frozen and the one after that with Music. I thought both had merit because they were still Dance but something different though from her. I thought Hard Candy, what could she be up to now. I've only heard the samples from Hard Candy but my impression is you could drop it in her 80's album bio and never know it was from this decade. Maybe worse, I didn't hear any stand out tracks. Needless to say I will be skipping Hard Candy.
